And now for the real update!
My apartment complex had this little party because they remodeled the lounge(Its freaking awesome now). Among the hot chocolate, donuts, and other yummy things, they had a polar bear plunge aka jump into the pool and swim a lap in the middle of winter. I wasn't going to because it snowed lots the day before but I got out there, saw freezing people and chunks of ice floating on the pool and obviously decided that that was worth a tshirt. Me, Eve, Karie, and Matt jumped in together and lets just say it wasn't the smartest thing any of us had ever done. You can't breathe very well when you're swimming in 25 degree water. Still, I got a tshirt.
And moving on to yesterday because I don't remember much of my week. Gave blood with Karie. I'm a bleeder, 4 minutes 8 seconds. Yay for me. Little bits of dizziness after that. Wouldn't have done much else but James got free tickets to Pennywise(!!!) and gave them to Karie who called me. The listings had the wrong place, so we got to Saltair only to find it very very empty.
After 2 hours of driving we found the concert. It was delayed because of technical difficulties, so we only missed the first band and there were 3 others that we got to see. Because I'm small, people protected me(Seriously, 2 guys came and stood between me and the mosh pit, and pushed all the people who came close to falling on me, they rock).
I had good intentions, I was just going to watch this show dizziness mixed with moshing has bad results. But then peer pressure in the form of some drunk, 16 year old kid showed up. I told him that if I went down, so would he and off we went. I went down after a couple of hits and the kid pulled me back out and made sure I was ok. Hung out with him for the concert because he was a nice kid and we both looked like we were gonna drop at some point. He bought me water. Things were good. =)
